PIMS teaser: Mitsubishi's new crossover vehicle

Mitsubishi Motor Philippines has confirmed it is unveiling the new Mitsubishi ASX at the Philippine International Motor Show this month.

A high-ranking Mitsubishi official said the 2-liter ASX will come in three variants: 4x2 with manual transmission, 4x2 with CVT (continuously variable transmission), and 4x4 with CVT.

As a crossover vehicle that is slightly lower than the currently unavailable Outlander, the Mitsubishi ASX will be catering to passenger-car owners who want to upgrade to a bigger vehicle, the official said.
